Hitch for Hannigan trike

[alwrmcusn]

I had my '09 RSV triked about 3 months ago. We immediately took a four day ride down the Natchez Trace Parkway. Having some time now to evaluate and I've given some thought to possibly (possibly only) getting a trailer. I did not have a hitch installed when I had the trike conversion done. Would I need to have the Hannigan installer do the hitch or is that something I can pickup and install? If it's something I can do, where might I look for the hitch?

Me? Well I did build a hitch for Ragtop69gs's trike. Let me check to see if I wrote down the plans I used to build his.

I guess Larry beat me to it... He has done one after the fact

and he can make one for you ummm maybe another

plug and play Item from the Carbon_One ! For the Hannigan !

Yes, and you may be better off with Larry's version, depending on what trailer you use. With the stoch Hannigan hitch it puts the tongue of a standard trailer waaaay too low. I invderted mybolt in ball piece and the ball, and added a huge spacer between the ball and the plate but it is still too low! The hitch setup is designed for the Hannigan trailer...

And while your at it.... add his plug and play aux tank if you have the

body removed. one of the best mods I have ever done. maybe you already

have the extra tank?

It's just a thought at this time, but JFI, what would that hitch cost and could I install it myself?

[Carbon_One]

I'd say $125 plus shipping. And it'll be a bolt on operation but you will have to drill a couple holes in the frame above the differential.

If you can't find the drawings for the hitch we can do some measuring when I drop off the windshield brackets I made for you. Maybe tomorrow evening.

Thanks Jay. Got the drawing thou so only a matter of cutting and welding up some steel.
